Advantages

Risks

Longer duration

- Lower market impact - Closer to average market price

chevron-rightare TWAP orders guaranteed to execute?hashtag

No. TWAP orders are executed based on market liquidity and may not fill completely if market conditions change.

chevron-rightAre executed TWAP orders considered market or limit orders?hashtag

TWAP orders are split into smaller market orders when executed. Each slice follows the current best bid/ask price with slight adjustments based on your randomization settings.

chevron-rightCan TWAP run across multiple pairs or markets simultaneously?hashtag

No. Each TWAP strategy instance supports only one trading pair. To use TWAP across multiple pairs, create separate strategy instances.

chevron-rightUnder what circumstances could a TWAP strategy fail or be interrupted?hashtag

TWAP may fail or terminate early due to:

  • Insufficient account balance (Cannot place next sub-order)

  • Manual cancellation by the user

  • System errors or network issues (Maintenance, data issues, or connectivity disruptions)

After interruption, no new orders will be placed. Check your strategy history for filled and unfilled parts.

chevron-rightDoes TWAP guarantee execution at or better than the target average price?hashtag

No. TWAP's goal is to approximate the time-weighted average price. However, due to real-time price fluctuations and liquidity changes, final prices may deviate. The platform does not guarantee a specific execution price.

Proper configuration of time, frequency, and price control parameters can help minimize deviation.
